caught this show, Jon & Kate Plus 8, on Discovery Travel & Living (it's a good channel to watch, despite derek tan's look of disbelief when i switched to that channel at his house on Sunday) a couple of weeks back as part of the Best Of Discovery Home & Health incorporated into Travel & Living (well, it's part of living).

it was until today when i watched another ep again that i realised why the Gosselins have 8 kids. they've got twins and sextuplets. 6 babies at one go! that's amazing. to think that they had infertility problems before that! good thing that they had gone through medical treatment, and that they refused to go through 'selective reduction', as seen in Wikipedia, which i guess it meant taking out embryos selectively such that there's only a small number left, such that the mum can take it during her 9 months of pregnancy. i admire their courage, especially the mum. imagine 6 babies crawling all over the place, or during the period when they just started walking. goodness. i for one cannot take it.

after reading the article in Wikipedia, i guess i do understand why Kate has decided to keep all 6 kids. i mean, they had gone through so much (they gave up a chance to adopt a baby when they wanted another child after the twins), and surely it will kill them to do the selective reduction thing. they will practically live in regret every day, thinking what that unborn baby would look like when he/she grows up. applause to the wonderful parents!


today's ep was a really cute and beautiful one, as it features the family having a photoshoot outside in the beautiful scenery (OMG i really love the trees and everything! i believe it's probably in Pennsylvania, since that's where the family lived)

i tell you, that photo above is so cute! caught it when they showed the whole series of photos taken. that's alexis and aaden for you, and seriously i think aaden is sooo cute! maybe it's the specs. ha

我们都容易对号入座一首歌
反复让歌词深深呼应着
可能不同 看不看开的执着
可能太痛 有些画面谋合

我们也容易忘记旧歌学新歌
受过伤还是有爱的资格
在每段难得的起承 酝酿我们的转合
唱一首歌 我最懂的心歌
